Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Australia
Baker McKenzie, together with ACC Australia, are pleased to present the 2025 Commercial Contract Law Series - a must-attend program designed exclusively for in-house counsel.
Each session in this series will dive deep into a key area of commercial contracting, offering practical insights and legal updates to help you stay ahead in a fast-evolving landscape.
Avoiding hidden pitfalls in commercial contracts and employment law
Commercial contracts involving the provision of services can sometimes attract unintended employment law consequences. Join Partner Sean Selleck and Special Counsel Jarrod Bayliss-McCulloch for a practical and insightful session, designed to help you identify some of these issues and avoid the creation of unintended employer liability when drafting or negotiating these commercial agreements.
In this session, they will explore key issues in:
• Services contracts and independent contractor agreements
• Labour hire
• Supply chain liability
• Outsourcing, particularly with offshoring arrangements
• Work health and safety, surveillance and privacy
We hope you'll be able to join us.
